We work in education, specifically mortgage, finance, and real estate, so our thumbnails lean hyper-realistic: real locations, real buildings, real people. That takes technical skill and a real grasp of realism, while still earning the click.

About Us

We're a YouTube agency built for one niche: real estate, mortgage, and finance. We're a done-for-you, full-service partner, handling everything from strategy and ideation to posting the video, so our clients can build their brand and grow through inbound content without doing it themselves.

That focus is our biggest advantage. We run the largest channels in our space, we host its largest podcast, with the biggest names in the industry as guests, and the clients we work with have seen around $85M in attributable sales this year alone.

We're the number one team doing this in our market, and we're growing faster than we can hire. That's why we're looking for top-level people who want to help build something great.

Our Core Values

Relentless Curiosity – Learning never stops. You enjoy growth personally and professionally.
Kind Candor – Honest feedback, both internally and externally, is a gift we gladly receive.
Extreme Ownership – Be the type of person people can always count on, both internally and externally.
Operational Excellence – Be the person who spots what is broken and makes it better.

The Role

You design scroll-stopping YouTube thumbnails that drive clicks, views, and channel growth for real estate professionals and the brands we work with. Every thumbnail is a bet on click-through rate, and you learn from the data on each one.

You work inside a production pod with editors, writers, and strategists, with 24 to 48 hour turnarounds. If that excites you more than it scares you, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Responsibilities

Design 10 to 20 thumbnails a week (40 to 80 a month) with 24 to 48 hour turnaround.
Build and maintain a visual branding system for each client, and follow their brand style guides.
Design for YouTube search and browse behavior so every thumbnail earns the click.
Create A/B test variations and iterate quickly based on click-through rate.
QC your own work before submitting. Your manager shouldn't be catching mistakes you could have caught yourself.
Keep files and assets organized. If someone else needs to find your files, they should be able to.
Work with editors, writers, and strategists to help each channel grow by 100 to 1,000 subscribers a month.

Requirements

Fluent spoken and written English.
Your walkthrough video must be recorded in English.
2+ years of graphic design experience, with three YouTube thumbnails you are proud to share when you apply.
Strong proficiency in Photoshop, plus Illustrator, Figma, or similar.
You understand YouTube, click-through rate, and why people click.
Strong time management across multiple clients and deadlines.
Data-driven and detail-oriented, with strong quality control.
Real estate or professional services design experience is a plus.
You experiment with new AI tools, workflows, and approaches without being asked.

Compensation and Benefits

Around $36,000+ USD per year, based on volume, skill, and experience. Every position starts with a paid trial to make sure it's a fit on both sides.

Flexible, fully remote work
Established clients in mortgage, finance, and real estate
More clients as you prove results, and a full-time role once you run a full client slate
